The Digital Torque Meter (DTM)

System measures shaft horse- power and RPM by employing fiber optics to detect the twist in a rotation shaft. Real time mea- surement at all speeds is accom- plished without signal conversion by processing the digital outputs from tow stationary sensors as interrupters, mounted on the shaft, pass through a beam of visible light once per revolution.

No drilling, welding, or machining is normally required for installa- tion. Calibration is accomplished at start-up by programmable means, without the need for any additional test equipment and can be easily verified by operat- ing personnel. The DTM System consists of an electronic dis- play/enclosure, fiber optic cables, stationary sensors (orange) and interrupters (white) as shown to the left.
